Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Line a 13 by 9-inch glass pan with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang and spray with nonstick spray.

Whisk flour and salt together in a small bowl and set aside.

In a large bowl, using a hand held mixer, cream butter and both sugars together until light and fluffy. Slowly add eggs, 1 at a time until thoroughly combined. Add milk, vanilla extract, and peanut butter and continue to mix. Incorporate dry mixture into wet mixture in 3 separate additions. Using a spatula, fold in chocolate covered toffee bits.

Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake in the center rack of the oven for 30-45 minutes. Remove when toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Transfer to a wire rack and allow to cool completely. When cool use cookie cutters to create fun shapes.
